Subject: [ironic][networking] Interest in starting a baremetal networking working group?
CAUTION: This message originated externally, please use caution when clicking on links or opening attachments!
Greetings folks,
During the PTG this past week, the Ironic community including
developers and operators reached a conclusion that we need to start
back up a networking focused working group to try and move the current
state of capabilities forward when bare metal machines are involved.
Specifically, management of physical switch connections to bare metal
*and* programming DPU/IPU devices for networking attachments.
As we're all quite aware, it is a complex topic with many different threads.
Given resurgent interest and a mutual desire to find some better
solutions, it just makes sense to have regular discussions. That being
said we need to identify an ideal day of week, frequency, and
preferred time.
I'd recommend sometime between 1500 UTC and 1800 UTC. Preferably a
Tuesday or Wednesday.
Would every two weeks work? Or would folks prefer to meet weekly to
try and build the most possible velocity through regular interaction?
Thoughts?
-Julia
